I read recently an interesting article at http://www.theloseweightdiet.com/weight-loss-supplements.html which discusses this subject and I want to summarize the main point.

The best and safer supplements for weight loss are the following:

a) Fish Oil. You know how there’s “good” fat and “bad” fat? Well, fish oil contains the omega 3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are the VERY BEST fats. The omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oil have been scientifically proven to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, lower blood pressure, decrease inflammation and joint stiffness, and treat various mood disorders. Fish oil has also been shown to either help improve or prevent Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, depression, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, hyperactivity, ADHD and more. It will also help your body to lose fat, build & maintain muscle, recover from exercise, etc. just a little bit better. It also provides It also provides an improved insulin sensitivity and calorie partitioning (meaning calories would be more likely to be used for something useful rather than get stored on your body as fat).

b) Protein Powder. It is useful for weight loss because it is satiating and is also a requirement for maintaining muscle. Your goal might be “weight” loss, but it’s really fat that you’re looking to lose, not muscle. Ensuring you eat enough protein each day is key in preventing muscle loss. While you should get the majority of your protein intake from high protein foods (chicken, fish, turkey, lean meats, egg whites, etc.), protein powder is a quick, simple, convenient way to ensure you get enough protein each day.

c) Multivitamin. t sort of works as your diet’s backup plan. That’s exactly why I take one. My diet is quite good. I eat better and healthier than most of the population. But, I still love the idea of taking a multivitamin each day to serve as my little nutrition insurance policy making sure my body gets everything it needs everyday. In order to lose weight, we need to be alive, healthy and functioning properly. If a multivitamin contains the things our bodies need to help make this happen, then it indirectly helps make weight loss happen.
